Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Local Transport Bill [HL].
Local Transport Bill [HL]
We cannot ever have a complete failure in a public transport undertaking because the very nature of the thing is that it is there properly to serve the public. We do not want to see a breakdown in service. We certainly cannot have that. As regards Connex’s operations with rail franchising, the experience was not good—I certainly did not enjoy it.
